dvd player thats plays both dvd-v and dvd-a?
« on: May 07, 2006, 09:28:59 AM »
Or will a dvd-a player play both?  I use audio dvd creator and just got discwelder Chrome s0 I need a player that can play dvd-a now too.  Does That Toshiba 4890 (can't remember the exact # right now) play both?  Gapless?  I thought I read somewhere on here there was a dvd-a player that wouldn't play dvd-v.  Thanks for any guidance on the matter.

dvd-v plays in any dvd player that plays video (so all dvd players basically).  dvd-a is limited to only players that are advertised as being dvd-a capabile.

As for the toshiba 4960, I had the samsung hd841 which is the same unit, just rebranded and had issues getting dvd-a to play gapless on it...dvd-v worked most of the time...flaky player though...would work right part of the time and wrong the rest...

Just about every DVD player is universal nowadays, so they'll play dvd-a, dvd-v, sacd, mp3, divx. etc etc etc

I have a Denon 2910 that plays both as well as SACD.  I love it.  The 1920 also plays just about anything (dvd-a, sacd, mps, etc) at a lower price point.  About $350

I recommend this unit enough I should get a cut of their sales, but the pioneer elite dv-45A is a fantastic unit, plays everything I have thrown at it with zero issues and the picture is markedly better than I ever got from the sub $150 units I had used before.

Have you tried playing home-made video DVD-R on the Pioneer?  I've got the Elite 47A and am having trouble playing concert videos that I downloaded and burned.  It plays just about every format and has no trouble with audio DVD-V disks that I made.  I can play them on my cheap Toshiba 4960 and Samsung 841.

Just wanna throw my $.02 in for the Pioneer Elite 578. It plays everything flawlessly, and is also one of the few I've encountered that can do 24/96 over S/PDIF.

cuz sony only wants to support their sacd bs

But seriously, just about any dvd player that costs over 100 bucks is gonna play everything, just look for the 6 channel analog outputs on the back.  Pioneer generally seems to be the best about supporting multiple formats, and they make quality products

The Denon players are also capable of 24/96 over S/PDIF. I've been quite happy with my Denon 2200.

All players will only output commercial  DVD-A via the analog out

negative.  DVD-A normally has a DTS or DD 5.1 mix in the video_ts folder that can be passed over an optical or coax connector, but the 24/96 dvd-a portion of it in the audio_ts folder requires the 6 channel analog connectors.  supposedly some players utilize firewire, but I dont know how often that is actually used
